ADP Series
ADP Series Desiccant Wheel Dryer
The ADP Series Desiccant Wheel Dryer is a high-performance plastic resin drying system designed for injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and other plastics processing applications. Utilizing advanced desiccant wheel technology, the ADP delivers reliable low-dew-point drying performance while reducing maintenance requirements and improving energy efficiency compared to traditional desiccant dryers.
Its standalone design provides flexible installation for a wide range of drying hopper configurations and throughput requirements. With adjustable process airflow, precise temperature control, and intelligent drying features, the ADP Series is an ideal solution for processors seeking dependable resin drying and consistent material quality across demanding production environments.

How The Wheel Dryer Works
-
The wheel is rotating driven by a step motor through 3 main sections: drying, regeneration and cooling.
• In the first section the humid process air coming from the material hopper through a return air filter is dried in two stages and the dry air is returned by the process blower through a heating chamber to the material in the drying hopper
• Parallel to that a part of the turning wheel is in regeneration with its own dedicated heat chamber and regeneration blower
• In the cooling section a part of the wheel is cooled down before it re-turns back into the drying process
